Im only 7 days post partum and I pumped around 7am this morning and I got 2oz, I just pumped and got 1oz. In total just today from this morning 3oz is what I pumped outside of feeding my son. Am I over producing?

Anyone ever feel like their baby is shredding their nips and belly with constant sucking and scratching? Omg just had the worst night.

My boobs have become huge and I’m only just over 6 weeks pregnant!! I’m not sure when I need to get a different bra if they just keep on growing?

Anyone can advice on a bf friendly pacifier? Baby is 5 months and half and I’d like to introduce him to one to have a few hours a day but scared it will mess up the breastfeeding latching game.

Baby girl is 8 weeks old and she’s recently started refusing to latch to the bottle like she use to. After about an ounce of milk she’s pushing the teat out and won’t take no more. In the last 12-14 hours, she’s only taken about 6 ounces of milk? She’s a little unsettled but nothing major - she took an ounce and...

hey , my boobs seem to have gotten a lot bigger all of a sudden I’m only 14 weeks has anyone else had this?🫣 Also how do I go about getting a bigger bra did you just get the next size up from what you normally wear?😳

Is anyone breastfeeding and still getting really irregular periods? Mine vary from 27 days to about 40!! She does feed relatively often still, but thought that they’d have settled abit!

I ebf however I return to work in January and will need my partner to feed our LO whilst I’m at work. I’ve tried expressing using the Medela Harmony manual pump but had no luck. Can anyone who struggled to get into expressing but is now successful recommend a pump?

I recently sent in a form to be a milk donor as I have an oversupply, which at the time (5 days ago) was 1900ml in my freezer (always 1200ml-1500ml in the fridge) I was just wondering how long it takes for them to get back to you as I now have 3300ml in my freezer and it’s getting to the point I’m going to start nee...

I'm having a bit of trouble knowing how much my LO should be drinking/eating. She is 9 months and she is not that interested in food as I tried different methods. She does eat when I feed her tho she doesn't really pick herself much and feeds herself. But overall she might have 2 meals as she is not a big fan of bre...

My 9 week old has been slowly gaining weight. This was caused by a missed tongue tie (now cut) and a viral infection. I moved to bottle feeding her breast milk during the day and feeding her myself come the evening and throughout the night. We have been weighing her at home and this way of feeding seems to be helpin...

I haven't had a Red Bull for about 10 months now and I'm craving one so badly🤣 I am however exclusively breastfeeding so I haven't had one yet🤭 Does anyone know if I can have one or it's best not too? I know it sounds really stupid but I have craved one my entire pregnancy🤣

Will they enlarge and feel full again? They only felt full and swollen for a day.

What are your breast pump recommendations? Ideally I need a double one that makes it easy to still move around and do jobs as I’m always on the go!

Breastfeeding and CMPA? What are you guys eating? Have you found any good dairy alternatives for yourselves? I’m struggling as my diet is already very limited (extremely fussy)🤣 so I don’t eat meat or anything, could really use the help!

Hi all! So I’m planning on formula feeding my baby (due Jan) and I was just wondering if you have to take milk in or if they provide at least some brands? I’m planning on using SMA or SMA little steps, however my friend who had her son says they provided bottles of milk for her, but I’m hearing others had to take th...

I’m wanting to stop breastfeeding as I just feel done with it now and I feel I’ll be happier not breastfeeding. I’ve started to replace one feed with a bottle of formula as my baby didn’t seem to like the frozen breast milk but he doesn’t take it very well from a bottle weather that be breast milk or formula. How lo...

So I’m EBF and I’m only 11 days in. And I’m leaking a lot especially at night, I got one of those breastmilk collectors which helps a lot during the day. But I have to change sheets pretty much every morning, just wondering if there’s a tip until it gets better..

Help FTM and so lost!! Do I need to get a manual and automatic breast pump?? I was planning to get the momcozy m5 but I’ve seen a lot of people say they have 2 different ones. Is a manual necessary?

I appreciate everyone is different but can you share your recommendations for breast pumps? I’m EBF but want to introduce a bottle at 6/8 weeks so thinking I could get a pump now in the Black Friday sales. There seems to be so many to choose from!
